Frequently Asked Questions
UPDATE 4/29/20:
Due to WM’s continued restricted travel policy and the inability to host groups on campus, we are being forced to cancel our in-person events this summer because of COVID-19. We will no longer be hosting Summer Institute this summer. We apologize for the inconvenience, but our hands are tied. We hope to see you next summer.
Is there on-campus housing? Does the registration fee include housing?
Participants are on their own for housing. We will make arrangements with local hotels to provide group rates. Participants must mention the William & Mary conference to receive special rates.
Are meals included in the registration fee?
There will be a light continental breakfast provided each morning. Lunch is provided, and you are on your own for dinner. Please note that lunch is typically a box lunch, which might include a sandwich or salad. We try to accommodate food allergy requests in advance. A list of area restaurants will be available at the registration table. There are a number of restaurants close to campus.
